Elbow Creek
# Elbow Creek

Elbow Creek is a stream in Taney County, Missouri. The stream headwaters are on the southwest flank of Lime Kiln Mountain within the Mark Twain National Forest. The stream course makes a sharp turn from northeast to southeast about a mile from its source then flows in a meandering fashion south to its confluence with Bull Shoals Lake north of Diamond City which lies across the lake in northern Boone County, Arkansas.

The source is located at: 36°36′56″N 92°56′38″W﻿ / ﻿36.61556°N 92.94389°W﻿ / 36.61556; -92.94389 and the confluence is at: 36°30′03″N 92°55′48″W﻿ / ﻿36.50083°N 92.93000°W﻿ / 36.50083; -92.93000.

Elbow Creek was so named on account of its irregular course.
